News: Some more seating has been added to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure. The former FastPass distribution area has been converted into a seating area, with covered tables, and themed elements making it fit right in with the theming of the area. More seating is always a good thing, especially in Avengers Campus where shade is a premium. - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/avengers-campus-disneyland-resort-expanded-seating/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXA_DMYkSsh/ A new art installation is being unveiled throughout the month in Downtown Disney to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Disneyland. Artists are asked to pick a Walt Disney quote and create a piece of art inspired by that quote. Each piece will represent one of the decades of the Disneyland Resort. So far, only the 50s through the 80s is represented, with more coming as more artists are adding to the collection through live art demonstrations. - https://www.micechat.com/434422-disneyland-update-crowds-closures-corporate-cutbacks/ It is a slightly bumpy start to Josh D’Amaro’s tenure as Disney’s new CEO. The company is planning on cutting up to 1,000 jobs, mostly in the marketing division, which was recently consolidated. It is likely that these cuts were already planned before D’Amaro took over from Bob Iger last month. - https://www.micechat.com/434422-disneyland-update-crowds-closures-corporate-cutbacks/ This past weekend, the first Disneyland After Dark: Disney Channel Nite was held at Disneyland. Photo ops were setup for guests to take pictures themed to DCOMs like Johnny Tsunami and Zenon. The fan favorite was back, allowing guests to recreate the Disney Channel Wand ID. The DescenDANCE Party was also back, along with favorite Disney Channel characters including Tale Spin, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, and more. Penny Proud, from The Proud Family was new this year. Also new this year was an exhibit at the Starcade in Tomorrowland that featured Disney Channel artifacts from the Walt Disney Archives. Of course, there was no shortage of merchandise and treats either! - https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disney-channel-nite-photo-video-tour/ SnackChat: Goofy’s Kitchen - https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland-hotel/goofys-kitchen/menus/ Discussion Topic: Imagineer Kevin Rafferty Marty Note pdf.pdf Marty's only black note pdf.pdf Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
